Agricultural Contractors offering a wide range agricultural services for over 40 years
Complete or part operations carried out with high output machinery, GPS available when ever needed.We can make a variety of bale sizes, also we have bale wrappers and everything in-between to complete a full or part service.
We blow all harvest equipment off on a daily basis with a 250 cubic feet a minute industrial compressor to minimise the risk of spreading black grass and other contaminants, this also reduces the risk of fires.
We have a V6750 and V660 Mchale high density variable diameter round balers available. Both equipped with choppers with up to 15 knives.
To wrap the bales we use 2 McHale HS2000 bale wrappers; these wrappers are usually towed behind each baler but can be towed behind the tractor in the field or at the stack. When wrapping at the stack a remote control can be used to operate the wrapper from the loader seat. Each bale wrapper can be equipped with a bale inverter which tips the bales onto there end where there is more plastic which reduces the risk of the stubble punchering the bale, it also makes it easier stacking bales if you are stacking them upright, and if baling on a gradient the bales are less likely to roll.
We run 3 square balers varying in width and adjustable length from 1.2m to 2.4m
• New Holland 9050 80cmx70cm
Complete with a packer cutter and moisture meter. We use this baler for our own haylage for horses, but also have customers that like this size bale for bedding pens.

Square bale wrapping is available with a McHale 998 wrapper capable of putting 4 to 12 layers of plastic and it has a function to put extra layers of plastic on the corners of the bales. This wrapper will wrap all large square bales and can wrap two quadrant size bales stacked on top of each other.
With two Kuhn 6m mower conditioners, front and trailed back combinations
Tedding with Kuhn 13m 12 rotor tedder and 10 rotor 10.8m Kuhn tedder. We like kuhn tedders as we have found with their smaller rotors they make a much more unified spread pattern. Often other makes tend to wind row the grass when it is getting dry.
